How it feels

A somber, gothic visual novel that feels like wandering through a haunted, decaying mansion while uncovering layered, tragic stories through hauntingly beautiful prose and a melancholic atmosphere.

What players say

Players widely agree it starts slowly, but those who persist often call the story life-changing and praise the soundtrack and art. The final chapter is repeatedly singled out as emotionally devastating and perfectly resolved. Some find the pacing too slow to recommend casually.
